America's next spy chief: Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence

Salon  

The Senate voted 52-48 Wednesday to confirm former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, with all Democrats — and Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. — opposing the nomination. Ward Elcock, former director of Canada's national intelligence agency, CSIS, told CBC News that Gabbard's lack of experience and qualifications is deeply concerning. Against arguments by Senate Foreign Relations Committee members that Snowden had endangered U.S. personnel and interests, Gabbard insisted that the programs that Snowden exposed were “egregious, illegal and unconstitutional.” Such positions, her critics said, made her an unfit and potentially dangerous choice to lead U.S. intelligence agencies, and one who could not be trusted by U.S. allies to share vital information with. Still, one senior former intelligence official told Politico that allies like Israel would continue to have "serious qualms" about Gabbard.
